Body and Heart Music

“Food is music to the body, and music is food to the heart.” – Gregory David Roberts

Portland speaks to my soul in ways that Seattle cannot. Earthy, life loving/free spirited people on every corner draw me in with their vegan treats and plant based eats. I’ve made a habit of visiting new places each time I visit, and after spending last Thursday/Friday in the Rose City I can cross five more places off my list.

Omg I know!!! I’m in awe EVERY TIME I tell someone about him they have no idea who he is. I’d say who I was going to see and no one knew him. So sad, but he continues to gain a following and both shows were 100% sold out so YAY FOR THAT!

You and your delicious food pictures! I have got to stop reading your blog right before lunch because my stomach is RUMBLING now, haha! I love it so much. Never stop posting (or eating) your delicious food finds. Also, I’d give my left arm for that cupcake or whoopie pie in your last picture. I’m a little hangry.

UGH I love Portland so much! Went there for the first time this last summer and I want to go back forever haha – We went to .a.n.d cafe and had a pumpkin spice waffle – so good – and lots of yummy treats at back to eden! If you haven’t been there already, check out Dove Vivi Pizza for their cornmeal crust pizza (their two vegan pizzas are to die for – one has corn and cashew cheese and one has tofu ricotta, roasted eggplant and caramelized onions – get both. Add the tomatoes), and Blossoming Lotus for their brunch – the Vegan Monte Cristo is insane. Okay time for me to go back!

No super recent adventures; I did go to a vegan juice and smoothie place with my sister in the Twin Cities that was pretty amazing. I have big dreams of visiting my best friend down there some random weekend so we can try all the fun places.

Everything looked DELISH. That waffle! Yum. I’ll have to check out .a.n.d cafe next time I’m there. My last adventure with food was at Bananarchy, a frozen banana truck in Austin. I had the Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie Banana. Let’s just say I was in heaven! I also tried vegan kolach for the first time — sweet and savory — at Bistro Vonish, also in Austin. Very scrumptious.

You made quite the tour of fun places in Portland. Good thing you had those non-free Nike Frees. 😜 So glad you got to go to the concert and hear your guy again. And eat all the delicious eats – naturally!

I haven’t had any snazzy food adventures in a while, but I’ve been doing some hiking in the river valley here, so I guess that counts? Especially the one time I came across a coyote and we both just kind of stared at each other not knowing what to do 😆 But seriously… I’ve always wanted to visit Portland. Sounds like such a snazzy place to visit.

Look yummy! I’ll have to look for places out here. I’ve been off meat except for white chicken and turkey meat for a few months now. doctors orders, so its been a challenge to keep my tummy and taste buds happy. Mostly because I don’t know what i’m doing.

I think I just got a food coma by proxy. Whew! That salted caramel square had me drooling.
Latest food adventure had little in common with yours–discovered roasted barley tea and am drinking it right now to stay warm after an epic snow storm.

I love Portland. I want to eat ALL THE FOOD. Your photos are amazing – I have that one of the manhole cover, too. Unfortunately, until the Canadian dollar recovers a bit, no US travels (other than what we’ve already committed to…). I’ll live vicariously through you!

The waffle and burrito look DIVINE. I’ve been craving blueberry-stuffed vegan pancakes from my local vegan eatery, but I have yet to get them!! I was on the verge yesterday but opted for the “cheesy” burrito and mushroom soup and mushroom almond SAUSAGE!!!! My last adventure? To the enchanted forest with G money. Check my blog to see her zooming through the snow. xoxoxoxo

UGH – why aren’t there any cute places like this is my new town? Or maybe I just haven’t found them yet. But seriously, I have to do so much baking and cooking because everything here is either Chinese food [which is good – but not gluten free] or large chain restaurants. I want neat hole in the wall places!!

Oh my goodness, all of the food looks amazing! I want that waffle right now. I’ve been considering taking a trip to Portland sometime this year. I’ve never been there and I think that it would suit my hippy dippy plant-based eating self well! 🙂

Well, now I want to go to Portland… thanks a lot ;). It seems so cute there… unique and foodie friendly. And coffee lover friendly. Also, yay for new shoes! They make a world of difference. I always forget that some states have tax on clothing! PA doesn’t, but when my family from NY comes down, they’re always like “We must shop. No taxes!!” haha.
